DS is 5.5 months and has been sick for 3 weeks. The first week was the worst with a bad cough and congestion, and the last two weeks he's had diarrhea/neon green mucusy poop. He used to be a poop every 3 days type of baby, and now he's sure to poop after each feed.

I took his to the ped last week, and she said that the recent bout of rotavirus has been lasting 2 weeks. I was a little disturbed when she said to try not breastfeeding him and giving him pedialyte instead. I understand milk upsets tummies, but isn't breastmilk different?

I have an appointment for next Tuesday (unfortunately it will be that same ped as my regular doctor is out of the country). Has anyone had experiences with their LOs having diarrhea for this long? Was it related to stomach bug or something else?
